KHOU-11 reports that a local foundation has set up a fund to help HPD officer Ron Pinkerton:
Doctors say it may be a year before HPD Officer Ron Pinkerton is well enough to return to work.
Pinkerton was shot in both arms last week. He was approaching a car that had just rear-ended his pickup truck when someone inside opened fire.
A 21-year-old man was arrested a few days later and charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer.
The non-profit group “Assist the Officer” has set up a fund to help pay for Pinkerton’s rehabilitation.
To learn how you can give, call the foundation at 713-223-4286.
Assist the Officer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that assists injured/disabled local officers. Unfortunately, their website does not seem to offer an online donation option.
